A delicate text serif with a tall, high-waisted profile and a notably light color on the page. Strokes are thin and clean, with modest thick–thin modulation that reads as controlled rather than dramatic. Serifs are fine and tapered, and many joins and terminals show subtle, calligraphic inflections that keep the forms lively despite the restraint. Round letters are slightly oval, and overall spacing feels measured, supporting an elegant rhythm in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a light, elegant serif is desired. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when used at comfortable sizes and with generous leading to preserve its fine details.
The font conveys refinement and composure, with an airy, fashion-forward tone. Its thin hairlines and tidy detailing suggest luxury and editorial polish rather than utilitarian neutrality. The overall impression is calm, cultured, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classic text serif: slender, composed, and highly legible in spacious settings, with subtle calligraphic cues to add sophistication and warmth.
Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading line with graceful ascenders and descenders. The numerals follow the same light, elegant construction, with curved forms that emphasize sophistication over robustness.
